To our Shareholders: (Unaudited)

 

 

Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to provide this semi-annual report on six of our ETFs tracking the fixed income market for the period ended November 30, 2022.

The global economy continued to face significant challenges during the reporting period, with high inflation, interest rate hikes, the Russia-Ukraine war, energy supply shortages, and rising COVID-19 cases in China. To tame soaring inflation, major central banks around the world increased interest rates, even at the cost of weakening their economies. Global bond markets faced a tough time as investors remained wary about growth prospects. After recovering from the pandemic, the U.S. economy was constrained by high inflation and supply-chain disruptions. Russia’s war in Ukraine and lockdowns in China adversely affected economic activity. U.S. GDP1 contracted in the first and second quarters, considered by some to be a recession. Concerns were eased in the third quarter as GDP growth moved into positive territory. However, they were heightened again on the prospect of further interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve (Fed) due to inflationary pressures and a potential recession. The Fed raised the policy rate by 75 bps2 in June, July, September, and November.

The Eurozone economy was impacted by the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war as the region remained dependent on Russian energy supplies. Sanctions against Russia led to higher inflation and growing concerns that Russia would stop gas supplies during the winter. That said, the economy grew 0.8% sequentially in the second quarter and 0.2% in the third quarter. Eurozone CPI3 reached an all-time high of 10.7% year over year in October, while in Germany, inflation reached 10.4% due to rising energy prices. Political events in the UK took center stage with a new prime minister and a fiscal reversal as the Bank of England ended its gilt-purchasing program.

Emerging-market bonds declined due to monetary tightening and economic growth concerns, with most currencies weakening against the U.S. dollar. Local-currency bonds were slightly more resilient than hard-currency bonds. Global bond markets started strong in October, with the UK as the frontrunner. U.S. Treasuries underperformed other major markets despite better-than-expected employment numbers and lower-than-expected inflation. The U.S. 10-year yield increased from 3.83% to 4.05%, while the 2-year rose from 4.28% to 4.49%. Bonds saw a solid recovery in November. Government bond yields were generally lower, and credit spreads tightened across markets. Credit-market returns were significantly positive, thanks to emerging-market high yields, and U.S. and sterling investment grade.

We believe the global economy is expected to see slower growth and lower inflation in 2023. The U.S. economy is likely to closely miss a recession, while the Eurozone is likely to shrink, and emerging markets recover fairly. Corporate and government bonds are expected to see better days next year. U.S. high yield will likely deliver more returns than Treasuries. The European Central Bank is expected to raise rates further to curb inflation, which, unlike in the U.S. has not yet peaked. Emerging markets should see stable spreads over Treasuries and strong return potential given their current attractive yields.

Our team appreciates your trust and looks forward to serving your investment needs through innovative index-driven strategies.

Sincerely,

/s/ Freddi Klassen

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including unitary advisory fees and other Fund expenses. In the most recent six-month period the Funds, except for Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, limited these expenses; had they not done so, expenses would have been higher. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The examples in the tables are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six month period and held for the entire period (June 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022).

Actual expenses

The first line in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses (which is not the Funds’ actual return). The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments).

1. Organization

DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end registered management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.

As of November 30, 2022, the Trust consists of thirty-eight investment series of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on the Funds listed below:

 

Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF  
Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF  
Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF  
Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF  
Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF  
Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF  

DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (“DWS Group”), serves as investment advisor to the Funds and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”).

Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF , Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF and Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF offer shares that are listed and traded on the Cboe Bats BZX Exchange. Inc. (“Cboe”). Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF offer shares that are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value, (“NAV”) only in large specified lots consisting of 50,000 shares, each called a “Creation Unit”, to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Funds’ distributor. Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds, and owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Funds, or tender such shares for redemption to the Funds, in Creation Units only.

The investment objective of each Fund is to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of a particular index (the “Underlying Index”). The underlying indices for the Funds are:

Underlying Index

Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF   Bloomberg MSCI US Corporate Sustainability SRI Sector/Credit/Maturity Neutral Index
Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF   J.P. Morgan ESG EMBI Global Diversified Sovereign Index
Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF   J.P. Morgan ESG DM Corporate High Yield USD Index

Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF   MSCI ACWI ex USA High Dividend Yield Index
Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF   MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Index

The Bloomberg MSCI US Corporate Sustainability SRI Sector/Credit/Maturity Neutral Index is designed to apply environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) considerations to a broader parent index. The Underlying Index generally aims to keep the broad characteristics of its parent index, the Bloomberg US Corporate Index (an investment grade corporate bond universe), resulting in a broad investment grade fixed income market exposure with ESG aspects. Under normal circumstances, the Bloomberg MSCI US Corporate Sustainability SRI Sector/Credit/Maturity Neutral Index is reconstituted and rebalanced on a monthly basis.

The J.P. Morgan ESG EMBI Global Diversified Sovereign Index is designed to apply environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) considerations to a broader parent index. The Underlying Index generally aims to keep the broad characteristics of its parent index, the J.P. Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Sovereign Index, resulting in a broad emerging markets sovereign debt market exposure with ESG aspects.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The J.P. Morgan ESG DM Corporate High Yield USD Index is designed to apply environmental, social and governance considerations to a broader parent index. The Underlying Index generally aims to keep the broad characteristics of its parent index, the J.P. Morgan DM High Yield USD Index (a USD denominated high yield corporate bond index of developed market issuers), resulting in a broad high yield fixed income market exposure with ESG aspects. Under normal circumstances, the J.P. Morgan Indices are reconstituted and rebalanced on a monthly basis.

The Solactive Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond Index is designed to track the returns of the segment of the U.S. long term tax-exempt bond market, consisting of infrastructure revenue bonds. It is comprised of tax-exempt municipal securities issued by states, cities, counties, districts, their respective agencies and other tax-exempt issuers. The Underlying Index is intended to track bonds that have been issued with the intention of funding federal, state and local infrastructure projects such as water and sewer systems, public power systems, toll roads, bridges, tunnels and many other public use projects. It is designed to only hold bonds issued by state and local municipalities where the interest and principal repayments are generated from dedicated revenue streams or a double-barreled revenue stream (pledged revenue stream and a general obligation pledge). Under normal circumstances, the Solactive Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond Index is rebalanced monthly on the last business day of each month.

The MSCI ACWI ex USA High Dividend Yield Index is designed to track the performance of equity securities (excluding real estate investment trusts (“REITs”)) in developed and emerging stock markets (excluding the United States) in its parent index, the MSCI ACWI ex US Index, with higher dividend income and quality characteristics than average dividend yields of equities in the parent index, where such higher dividend income and quality characteristics are both sustainable and persistent. The MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Index is designed to reflect the performance of equities (excluding REITs) in developed markets in its parent index, the MSCI EAFE Index, with higher dividend income and quality characteristics than average dividend yields of equities in the parent index, where such higher dividend income and quality characteristics are both sustainable and persistent. Under normal circumstances, the MSCI High Dividend Yield Indices are rebalanced semi-annually in May and November.

Each Fund is entitled to use its respective Underlying Index pursuant to a licensing agreement between the Index Provider and DBX. There is no charge to the Funds in connection with these licensing agreements.

Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF, Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF are diversified series of the Trust. Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF is non-diversified and is not limited by the Act with regard to the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. This means the securities of a particular issuer (or securities of issuers in particular industries) may dominate the Underlying Index of the Fund and, consequently, the Fund’s investment portfolio. This may adversely affect the Fund’s performance or subject the Fund’s shares to greater price volatility than that experienced by more diversified investment companies. In addition, each Fund, with the exception of Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF , Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, may change its diversification status over time and then change it back again, without shareholder approval, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the index each Fund tracks.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification of U.S. GAAP. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation    The NAV of each Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

The Funds’ Board has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee for the Funds pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor’s Pricing Committee (the “Pricing Committee”) typically values securities using readily available market quotations or prices supplied by independent pricing services (which are considered fair values under Rule 2a-5). The Advisor has adopted fair valuation procedures that provide methodologies for fair valuing securities.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

Municipal debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services approved by the Pricing Committee. Such services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask quotations or evaluated prices, as applicable, obtained from broker-dealers. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2.

Corporate and sovereign debt securities are valued at prices supplied by independent pricing services approved by the Pricing Committee. Such services may use various pricing techniques which take into account appropriate factors such as yield, quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other data, as well as broker quotes. If the pricing services are unable to provide valuations, securities are valued at the mean between the bid and ask quotations or evaluated prices, as applicable, obtained from broker-dealers. These securities are generally categorized as Level 2.

Equity securities and ETFs are valued at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange (U.S. or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which they trade. Securities or ETFs for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation. Equity securities and ETFs are generally categorized as Level 1.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their NAV each business day and are categorized as Level 1.

Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement prices established each day on the exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Pricing Committee and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Funds’ valuation procedures, factors considered in determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of the security; the size of the holding; the initial cost of the security; the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

pricing services; information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange traded securities); an analysis of the company’s or issuer’s financial statements; an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold; and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The value determined under these procedures may differ from published values for the same securities.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s Underlying Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Index.

Disclosure about the classification of the fair value measurements is included in a table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Cash    Cash consists of cash held at banks and is on deposit with major financial institutions.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income    Investment transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the identified cost-method. Dividend income is net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the Fund is informed of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. All premiums and discounts are amortized/accreted for both tax and financial reporting purposes.

Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders    It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). Each Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. It is the policy of Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF , Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF, Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF and Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF to pay out dividends from its net investment income monthly and Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF to pay out dividends from net investment income quarterly. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. The Funds may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Funds reserve the right to declare special distributions if, in their reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of each Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified at the end of the year within the components of net assets based on their federal tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profits for the full year for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP requirements regarding accounting for uncertainties in income taxes, management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on foreign, federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. For the period ended November 30, 2022, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

At May 31, 2022, for Federal income tax purposes, the Funds have capital loss carryforwards available as shown in the table below, to the extent provided by regulations, to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. To

the extent that these loss carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the capital gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

Foreign Taxes    The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, capital gains on investments, certain foreign currency transactions or other corporate events. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in their Statements of Operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income, foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories, and deferred foreign taxes on unrealized gains are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Receivables and payables related to foreign taxes as of November 30, 2022, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Foreign Currency Translations    The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the acquisition and disposition of foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed, but is included with net realized and unrealized gain/appreciation and loss/depreciation on investments.

Securities Lending    The Funds, except the Xtrackers Municipal Infrastructure Revenue Bond ETF, may lend securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of their securities lending agreement. During the term of

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

the loans, the Funds continue to receive interest and dividends generated by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Funds require the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Funds consisting of cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. During the period ended November 30, 2022, Funds invested the cash collateral into a joint trading account in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio, an affiliated money market fund managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. receives a management/administration fee (0.07% annualized effective rate as of November 30, 2022) on the cash collateral invested in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a lending agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within a standard time period. There may be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. If the Funds are not able to recover securities lent, the Funds may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market, incurring the risk that the value of the replacement security is greater than the value of the collateral. The Funds are also subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.

As of November 30, 2022, the Funds listed below had securities on loan. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned at period end.

Derivatives

Futures Contracts    Each Fund may enter into futures contracts. These futures contracts will be used to simulate investment in the respective Underlying Index, to facilitate trading or to reduce transaction costs. Each Fund will enter into futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. or non-U.S. exchange. No Fund will use futures for speculative purposes. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific instrument or index at a specified future time and at a specified price. For the period ended November 30, 2022, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF utilized futures in order to simulate investment in the Underlying Index. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.

 

77


DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

At the time each Fund enters into a futures contract, each Fund deposits and maintains as collateral an initial margin with the broker, as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. Pursuant to the contract, each Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The credit/counterparty risk for exchange-traded futures contracts is generally less than privately negotiated futures contracts, since the clearinghouse, which is the issuer or counterparty to each exchange-traded future, provides a guarantee of performance. The guarantee is supported by a daily payment system (i.e., margin requirements).

Use of long futures contracts subjects each Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects each Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.

A summary of the open futures contracts as of November 30, 2022 is included in a table following the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.

The following tables summarize the value of the Funds’ derivative instruments held as of November 30, 2022 and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

As of November 30, 2022, there were unlimited Fund shares, no par value, authorized by the Trust. Fund shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind contribution of a designated portfolio of securities constituting a portfolio sampling representation of the securities included in the respective Fund’s Underlying Index and an amount of cash, which under certain circumstances may include cash in lieu of portfolio securities. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

6. Concentration of Ownership

From time to time, the Funds may have a concentration of several shareholder accounts holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Fund.

During the period ended November 30, 2022, the Advisor agreed to reimburse Xtrackers J.P Morgan ESG USD High Yield Corporate Bond ETF $33 for a loss due to a FX trade executed incorrectly. The amount compensated was less than 0.01% of the Fund’s average net assets, thus having no impact on the Fund’s total return.

8. Investing in Emerging Markets

Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in developed markets. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation or deflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political, social and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls or delayed settlements, and may have prices that are more volatile or less easily assessed than those of comparable securities of issuers in developed markets. There is also substantially less publicly available information about emerging market issuers than there is about issuers in developed countries. Therefore, disclosure of certain material information may not be made, and less information may be available to the Funds and other investors than would be the case if the Funds’ investments were restricted to securities of issuers in developed countries. Investments in emerging markets are often considered speculative.

9. Investing in High-Yield Debt Securities

High-yield debt securities or junk bonds are generally regarded as speculative with respect to the issuer’s continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. A fund’s performance could be hurt if an issuer of a debt security suffers an adverse change in financial condition that results in the issuer not making timely payments of interest or principal, a security downgrade or an inability to meet a financial obligation. High-yield debt securities’ total return and yield may generally be expected to fluctuate more than the total return and yield of investment-grade debt securities. A real or perceived economic downturn or an increase in market interest rates could cause a decline in the value of high-yield debt securities, result in increased redemptions and/or result in increased portfolio turnover, which could result in a decline in NAV of a fund, reduce liquidity for certain investments and/or increase costs. High-yield debt securities are often thinly traded and can be more difficult to sell and value accurately than investment-grade debt securities as there may be no established secondary market. Investments in high-yield debt securities could increase liquidity risk for a fund. In addition, the market for high-yield debt securities can experience sudden and sharp volatility which is generally associated more with investments in stocks.

10. Line of Credit

The Trust has entered into a senior unsecured credit facility with a syndication of banks which allows the Xtrackers Bloomberg US Investment Grade Corporate ESG ETF , Xtrackers J.P. Morgan ESG Emerging Markets Sovereign ETF, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US High Dividend Yield Equity ETF and certain other funds managed by the Advisor to borrow up to $105 million. Each Fund may borrow money under this credit facility to the extent necessary for temporary or emergency purposes, including the funding of shareholder redemption requests, trade settlements, and as necessary to distribute to shareholders any income necessary to maintain each Funds’ status as a regulated investment company. Borrowings are charged an interest rate of 1.25% per annum plus the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus .10%. Each Fund may borrow up to the lesser of 33 percent of its net assets as permitted by the Act or 25 percent of adjusted total net assets. The Funds had no outstanding loans at November 30, 2022.

11. Other — COVID-19 Pandemic

A novel coronavirus known as COVID-19, declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, which at times has caused significant uncertainty, market volatility, decreased economic and other activity, increased government activity, including economic stimulus measures, and supply chain interruptions. The full effects, duration and costs of the COVID-19 pandemic are impossible to predict, and the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to evolve, including the risk of future increased rates of infection due to significant portions of the population remaining unvaccinated and/or the lack of effectiveness of current vaccines against new variants. The pandemic has affected and may continue to affect certain countries, industries, economic sectors, companies and investment products more than others, may exacerbate existing economic, political, or social tensions and may increase the probability of an economic recession or depression. The Funds’ and their investments may be adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management will continue to monitor the impact COVID-19 has on the Funds and reflect the consequences as appropriate in the Funds’ accounting and financial reporting.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Bond investments are subject to interest-rate, credit, liquidity and market risks to varying degrees. When interest rates rise, bond prices generally fall. Credit risk refers to the ability of an issuer to make timely payments of principal and interest. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. In certain situations, it may be difficult or impossible to sell an investment at an acceptable price. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S. companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Emerging markets tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the markets of more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Investments in lower-quality (“junk bonds”) and non-rated securities present greater risk of loss than investments in higher-quality securities. Municipal securities are subject to the risk that litigation, legislation or other political events, local business or economic conditions or the bankruptcy of the issuer could have a significant effect on an issuer’s ability to make payments of principal and/or interest. The market for municipal bonds may be less liquid than for taxable bonds and there may be less information available on the financial condition of issuers of municipal securities than for public corporations. Income from municipal bonds may be subject to state and local taxes and at times the alternative minimum tax. Incorporation of ESG criteria in a fund’s investment strategy does not guarantee a return or protect against a loss, limits the types and number of investment opportunities available to the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may underperform other funds that do not have an ESG focus. ESEB is currently non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues, increasing its potential risk. Stocks may decline in value. Dividends are not guaranteed. If the dividend-paying stocks held by the Fund reduce or stop paying dividends, the Fund’s ability to generate income may be adversely affected. Performance of the Funds may diverge from that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in these Funds should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the Funds. Please read the prospectus for more information.

Environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria are a set of standards for a company’s operations that socially conscious investors use to screen potential investments: Environmental (how a company performs as a steward of nature); Social (how a company manages relationships with employee, suppliers, customers and communities); Governance (company’s leadership, executive pay, shareholder rights, etc).

War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises and related geopolitical events have led, and, in the future, may lead to significant disruptions in U.S. and world economies and markets, which may lead to increased market volatility and may have significant adverse effects on the Funds and their investments.

Shares of the Funds are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) throughout the day on the NYSE Arca, Inc. or CBOE BZX Exchange, Inc., as applicable. Transactions in Fund shares may result in brokerage commissions and may generate tax consequences. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares of a Fund will develop or be maintained.

To our Shareholders: (Unaudited)

 

 

Dear shareholder,

We are pleased to provide this semiannual report on our six currency-hedged equity ETFs for the period ended November 30, 2022.

Mounting inflation, rising COVID-19 cases in China, surging greenback, and escalating trade skirmishes with Russia weighed on global markets during the period. Major central banks across the world hiked interest rates to curb inflation, despite fears that doing so could tip the global economy into a recession. Global equity markets were oversold during the reporting period on the back of accelerating inflation and fears surrounding central banks’ actions to control the price surge. Emerging market equity indices significantly lagged behind its developed market counterparts over the period, weighed down by high inflation, strong dollar, and weak Chinese economy. Heavyweight China faced headwinds from fresh COVID-19 cases, civil unrest, and concerns over subdued economic growth as a result of its stringent policies.

After experiencing two quarters of contraction, the U.S. economy recovered, clocking GDP1 growth of 2.9% in Q3 2022, primarily driven by exports and consumer spending. The U.S. labor market remained resilient, with the unemployment rate unchanged at 3.7%. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) approved a fourth consecutive rate hike, bringing rates in the U.S. to their highest level since 2008. Fed officials noted the rate hikes had had little impact on soaring inflation, the Fed’s hint at slowing the pace of rate hikes in November boosted investor sentiment.

The Eurozone recovered on higher-than-expected corporate earnings and hopes of a slowdown in rate hikes by the European Central Bank (ECB) after inflation cooled in the Eurozone. The region, however, continued to reel under high energy prices, Russia’s war with Ukraine, and decades-high inflation throughout the period. The manufacturing and services sectors remained dull, and business activity had contracted for five straight months by November. The ECB hiked rates three times between July and October to counter red-hot inflation. Despite cooling marginally, prices in the region remained at historical highs. Political events in the UK took center-stage, with a new prime minister and a fiscal reversal as the Bank of England ended its gilt-purchasing program.

In Japan, markets were buoyed by expectations of reduced monetary tightening by the Fed. Japan’s GDP1, however, contracted in the third quarter for the first time in a year. The contraction came on the back of spike in inflation, weakness in the yen, and high import costs. The Japanese government announced new measures to tackle unprecedented inflation.

Fresh COVID-19 cases, the Zero COVID policy, and softness in its property market wreaked havoc on China’s economy. However, markets improved toward the end of the period, with the government working towards relaxing policies and supporting the property sector. Against a backdrop of China’s coronavirus policies, regulations fueling a tech war between the U.S. and China, and concerns around slowing global demand, Taiwan’s export-oriented economy struggled.

We believe the global economy is likely to witness weaker growth ahead, weighed down by record-high inflation and high retail inventories. We expect global inflation to peak in the fourth quarter of 2022. While the U.S. may narrowly miss a recession in 2023, the Eurozone is expected to witness a contraction in GDP1. Meanwhile, slowing demand and declining housing prices are likely to slow inflation and prompt the world’s major central banks to pause or scale back further rate hikes.

Our team appreciates your trust and looks forward to continue serving your investment needs through innovative index-driven strategies.

Sincerely,

/s/ Freddi Klassen

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including unitary advisory fees and other Fund expenses. In the most recent six-month period the Funds limited these expenses; had they not done so, expenses would have been higher. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.    

The examples in the tables are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period (June 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022).    

Actual expenses     

The first line in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by$1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses (which is not the Funds’ actual return). The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end registered management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.

As of November 30, 2022, the Trust consists of thirty-eight investment series of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)(each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on the Funds listed below:

Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF

Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF

Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF

Xtrackers MSCI Eurozone Hedged Equity ETF

Xtrackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity ETF

Xtrackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF

DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (“DWS Group”), serves as investment advisor to the Funds and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”).

Each Fund offers shares that are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value (“NAV”), only in large specified lots consisting of 50,000 shares, each called a “Creation Unit”, to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Funds’ distributor. Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds, and owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Funds, or tender such shares for redemption to the Funds, in Creation Units only.

The investment objective of each Fund is to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of a particular index (the “Underlying Index”). The underlying indices for the Funds are:

 

Fund

 

Underlying Index

Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF   MSCI ACWI ex USA US Dollar Hedged Index
Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF   MSCI EM US Dollar Hedged Index
Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF   MSCI Europe US Dollar Hedged Index
Xtrackers MSCI Eurozone Hedged Equity ETF   MSCI EMU IMI US Dollar Hedged Index
Xtrackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity ETF   MSCI Germany US Dollar Hedged Index
Xtrackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF   MSCI Japan US Dollar Hedged Index

The MSCI ACWI ex USA US Dollar Hedged Index is designed to track the performance of equity securities in developed and emerging stock markets (excluding the United States), while mitigating exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the countries included in the Underlying Index.

The MSCI EM US Dollar Hedged Index is designed to track emerging market performance while mitigating exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the countries included in the Underlying Index.

The MSCI Europe US Dollar Hedged Index is designed to track the performance of the developed markets in Europe, while mitigating exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the countries included in the Underlying Index.

The MSCI EMU IMI US Dollar Hedged Index is designed to track the performance of equity securities based in the countries in the European Monetary Union (the “EMU”), while seeking to mitigate exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and the euro.

The MSCI Germany US Dollar Hedged Index is designed to track the performance of the German equity market while mitigating exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and the euro.

The MSCI Japan US Dollar Hedged Index is designed to track the performance of the Japanese equity market while mitigating exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and Japanese yen.

DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The MSCI Hedged Underlying Indices are rebalanced monthly on the last trading day of the month, when the index will take into account the effect of rolling into new 1-month forward contracts based on the newly determined weights of currency to be sold for the next month’s index calculation. The currency weights are determined as of the close of two business days before the first calendar day of the following month and remain constant intra month. This means that no changes in the weights are made during the month to account for changes in the indexes due to price movement of securities, corporate events, additions, deletions or any other changes. The daily calculation of MSCI Hedged Indices marks to market the one-month forward contracts on a daily basis by using an equal and offsetting forward position.

Each Fund is entitled to use its respective Underlying Index pursuant to a licensing agreement between the Index Provider and DBX. There is no charge to the Funds in connection with these licensing agreements.

Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Eurozone Hedged Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF are diversified series of the Trust. Xtrackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity ETF is non-diversified and is not limited by the Act with regard to the percentage of its assets that may be invested in the securities of a single issuer. This means the securities of a particular issuer (or securities of issuers in particular industries) may dominate the Underlying Index of the Fund and, consequently, the Fund’s investment portfolio. This may adversely affect the Fund’s performance or subject the Fund’s shares to greater price volatility than that experienced by more diversified investment companies. In addition, each Fund may change its diversification status over time and then change it back again, without shareholder approval, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the index each Fund tracks.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification of U.S. GAAP. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation    The NAV of each Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

The Funds’ Board has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee for the Funds pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor’s Pricing Committee (the “Pricing Committee”) typically values securities using readily available market quotations or prices supplied by independent pricing services (which are considered fair values under Rule 2a-5). The Advisor has adopted fair valuation procedures that provide methodologies for fair valuing securities.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

Equity securities and ETFs are valued at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange (U.S. or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which they trade. Securities or ETFs for which no sales

DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation. Equity securities and ETFs are generally categorized as Level 1.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their NAV each business day and are categorized as Level 1.

Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and are categorized as Level 2.

Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement prices established each day on the exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Pricing Committee and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Funds’ valuation procedures, factors considered in determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of the security; the size of the holding; the initial cost of the security; the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services; information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange traded securities); an analysis of the company’s or issuer’s financial statements; an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold; and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The value determined under these procedures may differ from published values for the same securities.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s Underlying Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Index.

Disclosure about the classification of the fair value measurements is included in a table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Cash    Cash consists of cash held at banks and is on deposit with major financial institutions.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income    Investment transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the identified cost-method. Dividend income is net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the Fund is informed of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders    It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). Each Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. It is the policy of each Fund to pay out dividends from its net investment income, if any, to investors semi-annually. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. The Funds may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Funds reserve the right to declare special distributions if, in their reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of each Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified at the end of the year within the components of net assets based on their federal tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profits for the full year for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

In accordance with U.S. GAAP requirements regarding accounting for uncertainties in income taxes, management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on foreign, federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. For the period ended November 30, 2022, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

At May 31, 2022, for Federal income tax purposes, the Funds have capital loss carryforwards available as shown in the table below, to the extent provided by regulations, to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. To the extent that these loss carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the capital gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

Foreign Taxes    The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, capital gains on investments, certain foreign currency transactions or other corporate events. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in their Statements of Operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income, foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories, and deferred foreign taxes on unrealized gains are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Receivables and payables related to foreign taxes as of November 30, 2022, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

In consideration of recent decisions rendered by European courts, Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF has filed for additional reclaims (“EU reclaims”) related to prior years. A corresponding receivable is established when both the amount is known and significant contingencies or uncertainties regarding collectability are removed. These amounts, if any, are reported in dividends and interest receivable in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Fund received reclaims and interest related to EU reclaims, which is reported in unaffiliated dividend income and other income in the Statement of Operations. Expenses incurred related to filing EU reclaims are recorded in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.

Foreign Currency Translations    The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the acquisition and disposition of foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed, but is included with net realized and unrealized gain/appreciation and loss/depreciation on investments.

Securities Lending    The Funds may lend securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of their securities lending agreement. During the term of the loans the Funds continue to receive interest and dividends generated by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Funds require the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Funds consisting of cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. During the period ended November 30, 2022, the Funds invested the cash collateral into a joint trading account in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio, an affiliated money market fund managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. receives a management/administration fee (0.07% annualized effective rate as of November 30, 2022) on the cash collateral invested in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a lending agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within a standard time period. There may be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. If the Funds are not able to recover securities lent, the Funds may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market, incurring the risk that the value of the replacement security is greater than the value of the collateral. The Funds are also subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.

As of November 30, 2022, the Funds listed below had securities on loan. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned at year end.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Derivatives

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts    Each Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts (“forward currency contracts”) designed to offset the Fund’s exposure to non-U.S. currencies. In addition, the Funds may enter into forward currency contracts and foreign currency futures contracts to facilitate local securities settlements or to protect against currency exposure in connection with distributions to shareholders.

A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. For the period ended November 30, 2022, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI Eurozone Hedged Equity ETF, invested in forward currency contracts to hedge against changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against specified non-U.S. currencies. Similarly, the Xtrackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF each invested in forward currency contracts to hedge against changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against the euro and the Japanese yen, respectively.

The gain or loss arising from the difference between the original contract and the closing of such contract would be included in net realized gain or loss on forward currency contracts. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of a contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The face or contract amount, in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the Fund has in that particular currency contract.

A summary of the open forward currency contracts as of November 30, 2022 is included in a table following the Funds’ Schedule of Investments. The investment in forward currency contracts short vs. U.S. dollars had a contract value generally indicative of a range of the total exposure the respective Fund had to the value of non U.S currencies during the period ended November 30, 2022.

Futures Contracts    Each Fund may enter into futures contracts. These futures contracts will be used to simulate investment in the respective Underlying Index, to facilitate trading or to reduce transaction costs. Each Fund will enter into futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. or non-U.S. exchange. No Fund will use futures for speculative purposes. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific instrument or index at a specified future time and at a specified price. For the period ended November 30, 2022, Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Eurozone Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF utilized futures in order to simulate investments in the Funds’ Underlying Index. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.

At the time each Fund enters into a futures contract, each Fund deposits and maintains as collateral an initial margin with the broker, as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. Pursuant to the contract, each Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The credit/counterparty risk for exchange-traded futures contracts is generally less than privately negotiated futures contracts, since the clearinghouse, which is the issuer or counterparty to each exchange-traded future, provides a guarantee of performance. The guarantee is supported by a daily payment system (i.e., margin requirements).

Use of long futures contracts subjects each Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects each Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.

A summary of the open futures contracts as of November 30, 2022 is included in a table following the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.

As of November 30, 2022, the Funds have transactions subject to enforceable master netting agreements which govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with such transactions. Master netting agreements allow a Fund to close out and net total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a deterioration in the credit quality or contractual default with respect to all of the transactions with a counterparty. As defined by the master netting agreement, the Funds may have collateral agreements with certain counterparties to mitigate risk. Interest expense from collateral received, if any, is included in Interest expense on the Statements of Operations. For financial reporting purposes the Statement of Assets and Liabilities generally shows derivatives assets and liabilities on a gross basis, which reflects the full risks and exposures prior to

Affiliated Cash Management Vehicles    The Funds may invest uninvested cash balances in DWS Government Money Market Series and DWS ESG Liquidity Fund, affiliated money market funds which are managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. (“DIMA”), also an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA. Each affiliated money market fund is managed in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, which governs the quality, maturity, diversity and liquidity of instruments in which a money market fund may invest. DWS Government Money Market Series seeks to maintain a stable NAV, and DWS ESG Liquidity Fund maintains a floating NAV. The Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of each affiliated money market fund in which they invest. The Advisor will waive an amount of the unitary advisory fee payable to the Advisor by the Funds equal to such acquired fund’s fees and expenses on the Funds’ assets invested in the affiliated money market funds.

3. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements

The Advisor has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Under an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the Advisor (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), the Advisor is responsible for arranging sub-advisory, transfer agency, custody, fund administration, and all other non-distribution related services for the Funds to operate.

For its investment advisory services to the Funds below, the Advisor was entitled to receive a unitary advisory fee based on each Fund’s average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate equal to:

 

     Unitary Advisory
Fee
 

Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF

     0.40

Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF

     0.65

     0.45

Xtrackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity ETF

     0.45

Xtrackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF

     0.45

The Advisor for the funds below has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its unitary advisory fee in an amount equal to the acquired fund’s fees and expenses attributable to the Fund’s investments in affiliated cash management vehicles. For the period ended November 30, 2022, the Advisor waived expenses of the Funds as follows:

 

     Expenses Waived

     6  

Xtrackers MSCI Germany Hedged Equity ETF

     11  

Xtrackers MSCI Japan Hedged Equity ETF

     1,367  

Out of the unitary advisory fee, the Advisor pays substantially all expenses of each Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, and expenses of the Independent Trustees. Each Fund is responsible for the payment of interest expense, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, brokerage expenses, distribution fees or expenses, if any, litigation expenses and extraordinary expenses.

The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as Administrator, Custodian, Accounting Agent, Lending Agent and Transfer Agent for each Fund.

ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) serves as the distributor of Creation Units for each Fund on an agency basis. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in shares of the Funds.

The Board of Trustees is currently comprised of three Independent Trustees. The Advisor paid retainer fees and attendance fees to each Independent Trustee; retainer fees to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chairman of the Audit Committee; and attendance fees to each member of the Audit Committee (which is comprised of all of the Funds’ Independent Trustees.

     52,021,205        14,082,209  

5. Fund Share Transactions

As of November 30, 2022, there were unlimited Fund shares, no par value, authorized by the Trust. Fund shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind contribution of a designated portfolio of securities constituting a portfolio sampling representation of the securities included in the respective Fund’s Underlying Index and an amount of cash, which under certain circumstances may include cash in lieu of portfolio securities. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

6. Payments by Affiliates

During the period ended November 30, 2022, the Advisor agreed to reimburse Xtrackers MSCI Europe Hedged Equity ETF $48 for a loss due to a FX trade executed incorrectly. The amount compensated was less than 0.01% of the Fund’s average net assets, thus having no impact on the Fund’s total return.

7. Investing in Emerging Markets

Investing in emerging markets may involve special risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in developed markets. These risks include revaluation of currencies, high rates of inflation or deflation, repatriation restrictions on income and capital, and future adverse political, social and economic developments. Moreover, securities issued in these markets may be less liquid, subject to government ownership controls or delayed settlements, and may have prices that are more volatile or less easily assessed than those of comparable securities of issuers in developed markets. There is also substantially less publicly available information about emerging market issuers than there is about issuers in developed countries. Therefore, disclosure of certain material information may not be made, and less information may be available to the Funds and other investors than would be the case if the Funds’ investments were restricted to securities of issuers in developed countries. Investments in emerging markets are often considered speculative.

Russia’s recent military incursions in Ukraine have led to, and may lead to additional sanctions being levied by the United States, European Union and other countries against Russia. Russia’s military incursion and the

 

104


DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

resulting sanctions could adversely affect global energy and financial markets and thus could affect the value of the Funds’ investments, even beyond any direct exposure the Funds may have to Russian issuers or the adjoining geographic regions. The extent and duration of the military action, sanctions and resulting market disruptions are impossible to predict, but could be substantial.

Investing in securities of Chinese issuers involves certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers, including, among others; more frequent (and potentially widespread) trading suspensions and government interventions with respect to Chinese issuers, resulting in lack of liquidity and in price volatility; currency revaluations and other currency exchange rate fluctuations or blockage; the nature and extent of intervention by the Chinese government in the Chinese securities markets (including both direct and indirect market stabilization efforts, which may affect valuations of Chinese issuers), whether such intervention will continue and the impact of such intervention or its discontinuation; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; the risk that the Chinese government may decide not to continue to support economic reform programs; limitations on the use of brokers (or action by the Chinese government that discourages brokers from serving international clients); higher rates of inflation; greater political, economic and social uncertainty; higher market volatility caused by any potential regional territorial conflicts or natural disasters; the risk of increased trade tariffs, embargoes and other trade limitations; restrictions on foreign ownership; custody risks associated with investing through Shanghai — Hong Kong and Shenzhen — Hong Kong Stock Connect programs, Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investor program or other programs to access the Chinese securities markets, both interim and permanent market regulations which may affect the ability of certain stockholders to sell Chinese securities when it would otherwise be advisable; and different and less stringent financial reporting standards. In addition, in June 2021, President Biden issued an executive order (“CMIC Order”) prohibiting U.S. persons, including the Funds, from purchasing or selling publicly traded securities (including publicly traded securities that are derivative of, or designed to provide exposure to, such securities) of any Chinese company identified as a “Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Company” (“CMIC”). This prohibition, effective August 2, 2021, expands on similar sanctions imposed by the prior administration on certain designated Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) that took effect in January 2021. To the extent that any company in an Underlying Index is identified as a CMIC at any time (or was previously designated as a CCMC), it may have material adverse effect on a fund’s ability to track its Underlying Index.

8. Line of Credit

The Trust has entered into a senior unsecured credit facility with a syndication of banks which allows the Xtrackers MSCI All World ex US Hedged Equity ETF, Xtrackers MSCI Emerging Markets Hedged Equity ETF and certain other funds managed by the Advisor to borrow up to $105 million. Each Fund may borrow money under this credit facility to the extent necessary for temporary or emergency purposes, including the funding of shareholder redemption requests, trade settlements, and as necessary to distribute to shareholders any income necessary to maintain each Funds’ status as a regulated investment company. Borrowings are charged an interest rate of 1.25% per annum plus the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus .10%. Each Fund may borrow up to the lesser of 33 percent of its net assets as permitted by the Act or 25 percent of adjusted total net assets. The Funds had no outstanding loans at November 30, 2022.

9. Other — COVID-19 Pandemic

A novel coronavirus known as COVID-19, declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, which at times has caused significant uncertainty, market volatility, decreased economic and other activity, increased government activity, including economic stimulus measures, and supply chain interruptions. The full effects, duration and costs of the COVID-19 pandemic are impossible to predict, and the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to evolve, including the risk of future increased rates of infection due to significant portions of the population remaining unvaccinated and/or the lack of effectiveness of current vaccines against new variants. The pandemic has affected and may continue to affect certain countries, industries, economic sectors, companies and investment products more than others, may exacerbate existing economic, political, or social tensions and may increase the probability of an economic recession or depression. The Funds’ and their investments may be adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management will continue to monitor the impact COVID-19 has on the Funds and reflect the consequences as appropriate in the Funds’ accounting and financial reporting.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Emerging markets tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the markets of more mature economies, and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Special risks associated with investments in Chinese companies include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards the nature and extent of intervention by the Chinese government in the Chinese securities markets, and the potential unavailability of A shares. The U.S. government has imposed restrictions on the ability of U.S. investors to hold and/or acquire securities of certain Chinese companies. To the extent that an Underlying Index includes such a security, and the Fund excludes it, the Fund’s tracking error may increase, and the performance of the Fund and Underlying Index may diverge. The European financial markets have recently experienced volatility and adverse trends in recent years due to concerns about economic downturns or rising government debt levels in several European countries, including Greece, Ireland, Italy, Portugal and Spain. A default or debt restructuring by any European country would adversely impact holders of that country’s debt, and sellers of credit default swaps linked to that country’s creditworthiness (which may be located in countries other than those listed in the previous sentence). These events have adversely affected the exchange rate of the euro, the common currency of certain EU countries, and may continue to significantly affect every country in Europe, including countries that do not use the euro. Italy, Portugal and Spain currently have high levels of debt and public spending, which may stifle economic growth, contribute to prolonged periods of recession or lower sovereign debt ratings and adversely impact investments in the Fund. The Funds’ use of forward currency contracts may not be successful in hedging currency exchange rates changes and could eliminate some or all of the benefit of an increase in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Investing in derivatives entails special risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. DBGR is non-diversified and can take larger positions in fewer issues, increasing the Fund’s potential risk. Performance of the Funds may diverge from that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in these Funds should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the Funds. Please read the prospectus for more information.

War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises and related geopolitical events have led, and, in the future, may lead to significant disruptions in U.S. and world economies and markets, which may lead to increased market volatility and may have significant adverse effects on the Funds and their investments.

On January 31, 2020, the United Kingdom officially withdrew from the EU pursuant to a withdrawal agreement, providing for a transition period in which the United Kingdom negotiated and finalized a trade deal with the EU, the EU-UK Trade and Cooperation Agreement provisionally applied effective January 1, 2021. As a result, as of January 1, 2021 the United Kingdom is no longer part of the EU customs union and single market, nor is it subject to EU policies and international agreements. The long-term impact of the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the EU is still unknown and could have adverse economic and political effects on the United Kingdom, the EU and its member countries, and the global economy, including financial markets and asset valuations.

Shares of the Funds are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) throughout the day on the NYSE Arca, Inc. Transactions in Fund shares may result in brokerage commissions and may generate tax consequences. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares of a Fund will develop or be maintained.

To our Shareholders: (Unaudited)

 

 

Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to provide this semi-annual report on our Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity ETF for the period ended November 30, 2022.

Mounting inflation, rising COVID-19 cases in China, a surging greenback, and escalating trade concerns with Russia weighed on global markets during the period. Major central banks across the world hiked interest rates to curb inflation, despite fears that doing so could tip the global economy into a recession. However, rising hopes of a slowdown in the pace of rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) boosted investor sentiment and supported gains for the markets. Despite reeling under high inflation, U.S. markets staged a turnaround toward the end of the period and posted their first back-to-back monthly gains since 2021. The U.S. labor market remained resilient, with the unemployment rate remaining unchanged at 3.7%. Fed officials, meanwhile, noted consecutive rate hikes have had little impact on soaring inflation. The Fed approved a fourth consecutive rate hike by 75 bps1, bringing rates in the U.S. to their highest level since 2008. Eurozone continued reeling under high energy prices, Russia’s war with Ukraine, and decades-high inflation throughout the period.

The Eurozone recovered on higher-than-expected corporate earnings and hopes of a slowdown in rate hikes by the European Central Bank (ECB) after inflation cooled in the Eurozone. The region, however, kept reeling under high energy prices, Russia’s war with Ukraine, and decades-high inflation throughout the period. The manufacturing and services sectors remained dull, and business activity had contracted for five straight months by November. The ECB hiked rates three times from July to October, in a bid to counter red-hot inflation. Despite having cooled marginally, prices in the region remain at historical highs. Meanwhile, European markets rose after Liz Truss resigned after 45 days as the UK’s prime minister. Newly appointed Prime Minister Rishi Sunak promised a supportive approach to restoring the UK’s economic stability. In France, the manufacturing sector recovered slightly at the end of the period on easing price pressures. However, its manufacturing PMI2 had contracted for three consecutive months by November. Germany’s manufacturing activity also improved, but the country’s manufacturing sector continued to witness a contraction. Housing-sector activity also declined, resulting in a slump in construction activity.

In Japan, markets were buoyed by expectations of reduced monetary tightening by the Fed. Japan’s GDP3, however, contracted in the third quarter for the first time in a year. The contraction came on the back of spike in inflation, weakness in the yen, and high import costs. The Japanese government also announced new measures to tackle unprecedented levels of inflation.

Fresh COVID-19 cases, the Zero-COVID policy, and softness in its property market wreaked havoc on China’s economy. However, markets improved toward the end of the period. China’s economy recovered at a faster-than-expected rate in the third quarter, with GDP3 increasing by 3.9% year on year. Australian markets recovered toward the end of the period on steady consumer spending and improving manufacturing activity.

We believe the global economy is likely to witness weaker growth ahead, weighed down by record-high inflation and high retail inventories. We expect global inflation to peak in the fourth quarter of 2022. While the U.S. might narrowly miss a recession in 2023, the Eurozone is expected to witness a contraction in GDP3. Meanwhile, slowing demand and declining housing prices are likely to help reduce inflation levels and prompt the world’s major central banks to pause or scale back further rate hikes.

Our team appreciates your trust and looks forward to serving your investment needs through innovative index-driven strategies.

Sincerely,

/s/ Freddi Klassen

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including unitary advisory fees and other Fund expenses. In the most recent six-month period the Fund limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The examples in the tables are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period (June 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022).

Actual expenses

The first line in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses (which is not the Funds’ actual return). The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end registered management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.

As of November 30, 2022, the Trust consists of thirty-eight investment series of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity ETF (the “Fund”), a diversified series of the Trust. The Fund may change its diversification status over time and then change it back again, without shareholder approval, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the index each Fund tracks.

DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (“DWS Group”), serves as investment advisor to the Fund and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”).

The Fund offers shares that are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, the Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value (“NAV”), only in large specified lots consisting of 200,000 shares, each called a “Creation Unit”, to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Fund’s distributor. Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Fund, and owners of shares may acquire those shares from the Fund or tender such shares for redemption to the Fund, in Creation Units only.

The investment objective of the Fund is to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the MSCI EAFE US Dollar Hedged Index (the “Underlying Index”).

MSCI is the creator of the MSCI EAFE US Dollar Hedged Index. The MSCI EAFE US Dollar Hedged Index is designed to track developed market performance while mitigating exposure to fluctuations between the value of the U.S. dollar and the currencies of the countries included in the Underlying Index.

The Underlying Index is rebalanced monthly on the last trading day of the month, when the index will take into account the effect of rolling into new 1-month forward contracts based on the newly determined weights of currency to be sold for the next month’s index calculation. The currency weights are determined as of the close of two business days before the first calendar day of following month and remain constant intra month. This means that no changes in the weights are made during the month to account for changes in the indexes due to price movement of securities, corporate events, additions, deletions or any other changes. The daily calculation of the Underlying Index marks to market the one-month forward contracts on a daily basis by using an equal and offsetting forward position.

The Fund is entitled to use its Underlying Index pursuant to a licensing agreement between the Index Provider and DBX. There is no charge to the Fund in connection with the licensing agreement.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification of U.S. GAAP. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation    The NAV of the Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The Fund’s Board has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor’s Pricing Committee (the “Pricing Committee”) typically values securities using readily available market quotations or prices supplied by independent pricing services (which are considered fair values under Rule 2a-5). The Advisor has adopted fair valuation procedures that provide methodologies for fair valuing securities.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

Equity securities are valued at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange (U.S. or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which they trade. Securities for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation. Equity securities are generally categorized as Level 1.

Investments in open-ended investment companies are valued at their NAV each business day and are categorized as Level 1.

Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement prices established each day on the exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1.

Forward currency contracts are valued at the prevailing forward exchange rate of the underlying currencies and are categorized as Level 2.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Pricing Committee and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Fund’s valuation procedures, factors considered in determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of the security; the size of the holding; the initial cost of the security; the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services; information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange traded securities); an analysis of the company’s or issuer’s financial statements; an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold; and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The value determined under these procedures may differ from published values for the same securities.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate the Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s Underlying Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Index.

Disclosure about the classification of the fair value measurements is included in a table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Cash    Cash consists of cash held at banks and is on deposit with major financial institutions.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income    Investment transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the identified cost-method. Dividend income is net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the fund is informed of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis.

Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders    It is the Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). The Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. It is the policy of the Fund to pay out dividends from its net investment income, if any, to investors semi-annually.

 

23


DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. The Fund may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Fund reserves the right to declare special distributions if, in their reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of the Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified at the end of the year within the components of net assets based on their federal tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profits for the full year for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP requirements regarding accounting for uncertainties in income taxes, management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken or expected to be taken on foreign, federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.

The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. For the period ended November 30, 2022, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

As of May 31, 2022, the aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation and the aggregated gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments were as follows:

 

     Aggregate
Tax Cost
     Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)
     Aggregate Gross
Unrealized Appreciation
     Aggregate Gross
Unrealized (Depreciation)
 
   $ 4,175,094,404      $ 72,220,872      $ 647,547,578      $ (575,326,706

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

Foreign Taxes    The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, capital gains on investments, certain foreign currency transactions or other corporate events. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invests. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Fund and are reflected in their Statement of Operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income, foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories. Receivables and payables related to foreign taxes as of November 30, 2022, if any, are disclosed in the Fund’s Statement of Assets and Liabilities.

In consideration of recent decisions rendered by European courts, the Fund has filed for additional reclaims (“EU reclaims”) related to prior years. A corresponding receivable is established when both the amount is known and significant contingencies or uncertainties regarding collectability are removed. These amounts, if any, are reported in dividends and interest receivable in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. During the six months ended November 30, 2022, the Fund received reclaims and interest related to EU reclaims, which is reported in unaffiliated dividend income and other income in the Statement of Operations. Expenses incurred related to filing EU reclaims are recorded in other expenses in the Statement of Operations.

Foreign Currency Translations    The books and records of the Fund is maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the acquisition and disposition of foreign

currencies, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed, but is included with net realized and unrealized gain/appreciation and loss/depreciation on investments.

Securities Lending    The Fund may lend securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of its securities lending agreement. During the term of the loans, the Fund continues to receive interest and dividends generated by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Fund requires the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Fund consisting of cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. During the period ended November 30, 2022, the Fund invested the cash collateral into a joint trading account in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio, an affiliated money market fund managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. receives a management/administration fee (0.07% annualized effective rate as of November 30, 2022) on the cash collateral invested in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a lending agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within a standard time period. There may be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. If the Fund is not able to recover securities lent, the Fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market, incurring the risk that the value of the replacement security is greater than the value of the collateral. The Fund is also subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.

As of November 30, 2022, the Fund had securities on loan. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned at period end.

Forward Foreign Currency Contracts    The Fund may enter into forward foreign currency contracts (“forward currency contracts”) designed to offset the Fund’s exposure to non-U.S. currencies. In addition, the Fund may enter into forward currency contracts to facilitate local securities settlements or to protect against currency exposure in connection with distributions to shareholders.

A forward currency contract is a commitment to purchase or sell a foreign currency at a future date at a negotiated forward rate. For the period ended November 30, 2022, the Fund invested in forward currency contracts to hedge against changes in the value of the U.S. dollar against specified non-U.S. currencies.

The gain or loss arising from the difference between the original contract and the closing of such contract would be included in net realized gain or loss on forward currency contracts. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of a contract and from unanticipated movements in the value of a foreign currency relative to the U.S. dollar. The face or contract amount, in U.S. dollars reflects the total exposure the Fund has in that particular currency contract.

A summary of the open forward currency contracts as of November 30, 2022 is included in a table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments. The investment in forward currency contracts short vs. U.S. dollars had a contract value generally indicative of a range of the total exposure the Fund had to the value of non U.S currencies during the period ended November 30, 2022.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Futures Contracts    The Fund may enter into futures contracts. These futures contracts will be used to simulate investment in the respective Underlying Index, to facilitate trading or to reduce transaction costs. The Fund will enter into futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. or non-U.S. exchange. The Fund will not use futures for speculative purposes. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific instrument or index at a specified future time and at a specified price. For the period ended November 30, 2022, the Fund utilized futures in order to simulate investment in the Fund’s Underlying Index. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.

At the time the Fund enters into a futures contract, the Fund deposits and maintains as collateral an initial margin with the broker, as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The credit/counterparty risk for exchange-traded futures contracts is generally less than privately negotiated futures contracts, since the clearinghouse, which is the issuer or counterparty to each exchange-traded future, provides a guarantee of performance. The guarantee is supported by a daily payment system (i.e., margin requirements).

Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.

A summary of the open futures contracts as of November 30, 2022 is included in a table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The following table summarizes the value of the Fund’s derivative instruments held as of November 30, 2022 and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

As of November 30, 2022, the Fund has transactions subject to enforceable master netting agreements which govern the terms of certain transactions, and reduce the counterparty risk associated with such transactions. Master netting agreements allow a Fund to close out and net total exposure to a counterparty in the event of a deterioration in the credit quality or contractual default with respect to all of the transactions with a counterparty. As defined by the master netting agreement, the Fund may have collateral agreements with certain counterparties to mitigate risk. Interest expense from collateral received, if any, is included in Interest expense on the Statement of Operations. For financial reporting purposes the Statement of Assets and Liabilities generally shows derivatives assets and liabilities on a gross basis, which reflects the full risks and exposures prior to netting.

Affiliated Cash Management Vehicles    The Fund may invest uninvested cash balances in DWS Government Money Market Series and DWS ESG Liquidity Fund, affiliated money market funds which are managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. (“DIMA”), also an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA. Each affiliated money market fund is managed in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, which governs the quality, maturity, diversity and liquidity of instruments in which a money market fund may invest. DWS Government Money Market Series seeks to maintain a stable NAV and DWS ESG Liquidity Fund maintains a floating NAV. The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of each affiliated money market fund in which it invests. The Advisor will waive an amount of the unitary advisory fee payable to the Advisor by the Funds equal to such acquired fund’s fees and expenses on the Funds’ assets invested in the affiliated money market funds.

3. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements

The Advisor has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. Under an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Advisor (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), the Advisor is responsible for arranging sub-advisory, transfer agency, custody, fund administration, and all other non-distribution related services for the Fund to operate.

For its investment advisory services to the Fund, the Advisor is entitled to receive a unitary advisory fee from the Fund based on the Fund’s average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate equal to 0.35%.

The Advisor for the Fund has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its unitary advisory fee in an amount equal to the acquired fund’s fees and expenses attributable to the Fund’s investments in affiliated cash management vehicles. For the period from June 1, 2022 through November 30, 2022, the Advisor waived $20,524 of expenses to the Fund.

 

27


DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Out of the unitary advisory fee, the Advisor pays substantially all expenses of the Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services, and expenses of the Independent Trustees. The Fund is responsible for the payment of interest expense, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, brokerage expenses, distribution fees or expenses, if any, litigation expenses and extraordinary expenses.

The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as Administrator, Custodian, Accounting Agent, Lending Agent and Transfer Agent for the Fund.

ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) serves as the distributor of Creation Units for the Fund on an agency basis. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in shares of the Fund.

The Board of Trustees is currently comprised of three Independent Trustees. The Advisor paid retainer fees and attendance fees to each Independent Trustee; retainer fees to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chairman of the Audit Committee; and attendance fees to each member of the Audit Committee (which is comprised of all of the Fund’s Independent Trustees).

4. Investment Portfolio Transactions

For the period ended November 30, 2022, the cost of investments purchased and proceeds from sale of investments (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments) were as follows:

 

     Purchases      Sales  
   $ 436,256,303      $ 271,164,122  

For the period ended November 30, 2022, the cost of in-kind purchases and proceeds from in-kind sales were as follows:

 

     Purchases      Sales  
   $ 79,141,513      $ 39,736,736  

5. Fund Share Transactions

As of November 30, 2022, there were unlimited Fund shares, no par value, authorized by the Trust. Fund shares are issued and redeemed by the Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind contribution of a designated portfolio of securities constituting a portfolio sampling representation of the securities included in the Fund’s Underlying Index and an amount of cash, which under certain circumstances may include cash in lieu of portfolio securities. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

6. Payments by Affiliates

During the period ended November 30, 2022, the Advisor agreed to reimburse Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity ETF $3,701 for a loss due to a FX trade executed incorrectly. The amount compensated was less than 0.01% of the Fund’s average net assets, thus having no impact on the Fund’s total return.

7. Other — COVID-19 Pandemic

A novel coronavirus known as COVID-19, declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, which at times has caused significant uncertainty, market volatility, decreased economic and other activity, increased government activity, including economic stimulus measures, and supply chain interruptions. The full effects, duration and costs of the COVID-19 pandemic are impossible to predict, and the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to evolve, including the risk of future increased rates of infection due to significant portions of the population remaining unvaccinated and/or the lack of effectiveness of current vaccines against new variants. The pandemic has affected and may continue to affect certain countries, industries, economic sectors, companies and investment products more than others, may exacerbate existing economic, political, or social tensions and may increase the probability of an economic recession or depression. The Fund and its investments may be adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management will continue to monitor the impact COVID-19 has on the Fund and reflect the consequences as appropriate in the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting.

Investing involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S. companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. The Fund’s use of forward currency contracts may not be successful in hedging currency exchange rates changes and could eliminate some or all of the benefit of an increase in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Investing in derivatives entails special risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Performance of the Fund may diverge from that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in the Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the Fund. Please read the prospectus for more information.

War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises and related geopolitical events have led, and, in the future, may lead to significant disruptions in U.S. and world economies and markets, which may lead to increased market volatility and may have significant adverse effects on the Funds and its investments.

Shares of the Funds are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) throughout the day on the NYSE Arca, Inc.

To our Shareholders: (Unaudited)

 

 

Dear Shareholder,

We are pleased to provide this semi-annual report on our four flagship ETFs tracking China’s equity market for the period ended November 30, 2022.

The global economy has continued to face significant challenges during the reporting period, with high inflation, interest rate hikes, geopolitical tensions, and rising COVID-19 cases in China. Major central banks across the world hiked interest rates to curb inflation, despite fears that doing so could tip the global economy into a recession. However, rising hopes of a slowdown in the pace of rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) boosted investor sentiment and supported gains for the markets. Despite reeling under high inflation, U.S. markets staged a turnaround toward the end of the period and posted their first back-to-back monthly gains since 2021. The Fed raised the policy rate by 75 bps1 in June, July, September and November, bringing the rate between 3.75% and 4%. The Eurozone continued reeling under high energy prices, Russia’s war with Ukraine, and decades-high inflation throughout the period, and the European Central Bank (ECB) hiked interest rates by 75 bps in September, following a 50 bps hike in July, to fight soaring inflation.

China’s economy recovered at a faster-than-expected pace, with GDP2 increasing by 3.9% year on year. The economy was buoyed by a series of policies and stimulus from Beijing. Industrial production rose in both mining and manufacturing. Economic data shows that growth in industrial activity has been a major source of strength for the economy. Automobile manufacturing also increased, and the country produced more than double the number of new-energy vehicles compared to last year. Investments in fixed assets continued to increase. Exports remain essential to China’s development, with imports only modestly improving throughout the period. The unemployment rate remained steady at 5.5%.

On the policy front, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) kept its key lending rates unchanged for the third straight month in November. The State Council announced RMB300bn in policy financing for property and RMB200bn in special bonds for power producers. The PBoC lowered the rate of one-year medium-term lending facility loans to some financial institutions by 10 bps. This was followed by asymmetric one-year loan prime rates and a preliminary agreement with the U.S. over audit inspections. The PBoC also cut the seven-day reverse repo rate from 2.1% to 2% to boost support for the economy affected by COVID-19-related lockdowns and a property downturn.

We believe the global economy is likely to witness weaker growth ahead, weighed down by record-high inflation and high retail inventories. We expect global inflation to peak in the fourth quarter of 2022. While the U.S. might narrowly miss a recession in 2023, the Eurozone is expected to witness a contraction in GDP. Meanwhile, slowing demand and declining housing prices are likely to help reduce inflation levels and prompt the world’s major central banks to pause or scale back further rate hikes.

Our team appreciates your trust and looks forward to serving your investment needs through innovative index-driven strategies.

Sincerely,

/s/ Freddi Klassen

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including unitary advisory fees and other fund expenses. In the most recent six-month period Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF limited these expenses; had they not done so, expenses would have been higher. In addition to the ongoing expenses which each Fund bears directly, the Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF shareholders indirectly bear the expenses of Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF and Xtrackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF (the “Underlying Funds”) in which the Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF invests. The Underlying Funds’ expenses are not included in Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF’s annualized expense ratios used to calculate the expense estimate in the tables. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The examples in the tables are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period (June 1, 2022 to, November 30, 2022).

Actual expenses

The first line in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses (which is not the Funds’ actual return). The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5%hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) Expenses are equal to each Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183 (the number of days in the most recent six-month period), then divided by 365.

(2) The Fund invests in other ETFs and indirectly bears its proportionate share of fees and expenses incurred by the Underlying Funds in which the Fund is invested. This ratio does not include these indirect fees and expenses.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end registered management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.

As of November 30, 2022, the Trust consists of thirty-eight investment series of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on the Funds listed below:

 

Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF  
Xtrackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF  
Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF  
Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF  

DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (“DWS Group”), serves as investment advisor to the Funds and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees (“Board”).

Each Fund offers shares that are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, each Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value (“NAV”), only in large specified lots consisting of 50,000 shares, each called a “Creation Unit”, to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Funds’ distributor. Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Funds, and owners of the shares may acquire those shares from the Funds, or tender such shares for redemption to the Funds, in Creation Units only.

The investment objective of each Fund is to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of a particular index (the “Underlying Index”). The underlying indices for the Funds are:

 

Fund

 

Underlying Index

Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF   CSI 300 Index
Xtrackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF   CSI 500 Index
Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF   MSCI China All Shares Index
Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF   MSCI China A Inclusion Index

CSI 300 Index is calculated and maintained by China Securities Index Co., Ltd. It is designed to reflect the price fluctuation and performance of the China A-Share market and is composed of the 300 largest and most liquid stocks in the China A-Share market. Constituent stocks for the Underlying Index generally must have been listed on either the Shanghai Stock Exchange or the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for specified time periods, have demonstrated positive performance, and not be subject to abnormal volatility or other evidence of possible market manipulation, among other factors. The composition of the Underlying Index is reviewed every six-months.

CSI 500 Index is calculated and maintained by China Securities Index Co., Ltd. is designed to reflect the price fluctuation and performance of small-cap companies in the China A-Share market and is composed of the 500 smallest and most liquid stocks in the China A-Share market. Constituent stocks for the Underlying Index generally must have been listed on either the Shanghai Stock Exchange or the Shenzhen Stock Exchange for specified time periods, have demonstrated positive performance, and not be subject to abnormal volatility or other evidence of possible market manipulation, among other factors. The composition of the Underlying Index is reviewed every six-months.

MSCI China All Shares Index and MSCI China A Inclusion Equity Index are each calculated and maintained by MSCI, Inc. (“MSCI”). The MSCI China All Share Index is designed to capture large- and mid-capitalization representation across all China securities listed in Hong Kong, Shanghai and Shenzhen. The Underlying Index is intended to give investors a means of tracking the overall performance of equity securities that are a representative sample of the entire Chinese investment universe. The Underlying Index is comprised of A-Shares, B-Shares, H-Shares, Red chips and P chips share classes as well as securities of Chinese companies listed outside of China (e.g. American depository receipts). The Underlying Index is rebalanced on a quarterly basis..

The MSCI China A Inclusion Index is designed to track the equity market performance of China A-Shares that are accessible through the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect program or the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

program (together “Stock Connect”). “A-Shares” are equity securities issued by companies incorporated in mainland China and are denominated in renminbi. Certain eligible A-Shares are traded on the Shanghai or Shenzhen Stock Exchanges. The Underlying Index is designed to track the inclusion of A-Shares in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index over time and is constructed by MSCI by applying eligibility criteria for the MSCI Global Investable Market Indexes, and then excluding mid- and small-capitalization A-Shares (as determined by MSCI), A-Shares suspended for trading for more than 50 days in the past 12 months and A-Shares that are not accessible through Stock Connect. The Underlying Index is weighted by each issuer’s free float-adjusted market capitalization (i.e., includes only shares that are readily available for trading in the market) available to foreign investors and includes only large-capitalization companies, as determined by MSCI. The Underlying Index is rebalanced on a quarterly basis.

Each Fund is entitled to use its respective Underlying Index pursuant to a licensing agreement between the Index Provider and DBX. There is no charge to the Funds in connection with these licensing agreements.

Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust. In addition, each Fund, with the exception of Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF, may change its diversification status over time and then change it back again, without shareholder approval, solely as a result of a change in relative market capitalization or index weighting of one or more constituents of the index each Fund tracks.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Funds. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Funds that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Each Fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification of U.S. GAAP. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds.

Security Valuation    The NAV of each Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

The Funds’ Board has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee for the Funds pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor’s Pricing Committee (the “Pricing Committee”) typically values securities using readily available market quotations or prices supplied by independent pricing services (which are considered fair values under Rule 2a-5). The Advisor has adopted fair valuation procedures that provide methodologies for fair valuing securities.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Funds’ investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Funds’ own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

Equity securities and ETFs are valued at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange (U.S. or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which they trade. Securities or ETFs for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation. Equity securities and ETFs are generally categorized as Level 1.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their NAV each business day and are categorized as a Level 1.

 

39


DBX ETF Trust

 

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement prices established each day on the exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Pricing Committee and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Funds’ valuation procedures, factors considered in determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of the security; the size of the holding; the initial cost of the security; the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services; information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange traded securities); an analysis of the company’s or issuer’s financial statements; an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold; and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The value determined under these procedures may differ from published values for the same securities.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s Underlying Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Index.

Disclosure about the classification of the fair value measurements is included in a table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Cash    Cash consists of cash held at banks and is on deposit with major financial institutions.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income    Investment transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the identified cost-method. Dividend income is net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the Fund is informed of such dividends. Distributions of income and capital gains from investments in affiliated funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Distributions received from foreign domiciled corporations, generally determined to be passive foreign investment companies for tax reporting purposes, are included in dividend income.

Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders    It is each Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). Each Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. It is the policy of each Fund to pay out dividends from its net investment income, if any, to investors annually. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. The Funds may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Funds reserve the right to declare special distributions if, in their reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of each Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified at the end of the year within the components of net assets based on their federal tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profits for the full year for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP requirements regarding accounting for uncertainties in income taxes, management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken or expected to be taken on foreign, federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Funds’ financial statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

The Funds recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense on the Statements of Operations. For the period ended November 30, 2022, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties.

At May 31, 2022, for Federal income tax purposes, the Funds have capital loss carryforwards available as shown in the table below, to the extent provided by regulations, to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. To the extent that these loss carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the capital gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

Foreign Taxes    The Funds may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, capital gains on investments, certain foreign currency transactions or other corporate events. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Funds invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Funds and are reflected in their Statements of Operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income, foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories, and deferred foreign taxes on unrealized gains are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Receivables and payables related to foreign taxes as of November 30, 2022, if any, are disclosed in the Funds’ Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

The Funds’ direct investments in China A-Shares will be subject to a number of Chinese tax rules and the application of many of those rules is evolving. Chinese taxes that may apply to the Funds’ direct investments in A-Shares include withholding income tax (“WHT”) on dividends, WHT on bank interest, WHT on capital gains realized from the disposal of equity investments prior to November 17, 2014 and stamp tax. China imposes WHT at a rate of 10% on dividends on shares and interest income derived by non People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) enterprises including Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (“QFII”) and Renminbi Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (“RQFII”) from PRC resident issuers, subject to any lower rate provided by an applicable tax treaty.

Since November 17, 2014, RQFIIs have been temporarily exempt from WHT with respect to gains derived from the trading of equity investments (including shares in PRC enterprises). With respect to gains derived from equity investments prior to November 17, 2014, RQFIIs are subject to WHT at a rate of 10% on such gains on a gross basis, subject to any lower rate provided by an applicable tax treaty. The above WHT treatment applies to RQFIIs which do not have a permanent establishment (“PE”) in the PRC. The Funds do not have PEs in the PRC, therefore, the Funds are only subject to WHT at 10% with respect to gross realized gains derived from the disposal of land-rich A-Share companies and exempt from WHT with respect to gross realized gains derived from non land-rich A-Share companies prior to November 17, 2014. Land-rich enterprises refer to companies whose value of immovable property in the PRC is greater than 50% of the value of their total assets at any time during the

three-year period before the alienation of the PRC companies’ shares. The WHT relating to the realized gains from shares in land-rich companies prior to November 17, 2014 has been paid by the Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF and Xtrackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF while realized gains from shares in non land-rich companies prior to November 17, 2014 were granted treaty relief pursuant to the PRC-US Double Taxation Arrangement.

The PRC rules for taxation of RQFIIs (and QFIIs) are evolving and the tax regulations to be issued by the PRC State Administration of Taxation and/or PRC Ministry of Finance, as well as the practices adopted by the local PRC authorities, may apply retroactively which may adversely affect the Fund and its shareholders.

Foreign Currency Translations    The books and records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the acquisition and disposition of foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed, but is included with net realized and unrealized gain/appreciation and loss/depreciation on investments.

Securities Lending    The Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF may lend securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of their securities lending agreement. During the term of the loans, the Funds continue to receive interest and dividends generated by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Funds require the borrowers of the securities to maintain collateral with the Funds consisting of cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. During the period ended November 30, 2022, the Funds invested the cash collateral into a joint trading account in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio, an affiliated money market fund managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. receives a management/administration fee (0.07% annualized effective rate as of November 30, 2022) on the cash collateral invested in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio. The Funds receive compensation for lending their securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a lending agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within a standard time period. There may be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. If the Funds are not able to recover securities lent, the Funds may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market, incurring the risk that the value of the replacement security is greater than the value of the collateral. The Funds are also subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.

As of November 30, 2022, the Funds listed below had securities on loan. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned at period end.

Derivatives

Futures Contracts    Each Fund may enter into futures contracts. These futures contracts will be used to simulate investment in the respective Underlying Index, to facilitate trading or to reduce transaction costs. Each Fund will enter into futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. or non-U.S. exchange. No Fund will use futures for speculative purposes. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific instrument or index at a specified future time and at a specified price. For the period ended November 30, 2022, Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF and Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF utilized futures in order to simulate investment in the Funds’ Underlying Index. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.

At the time each Fund enters into a futures contract, each Fund deposits and maintains as collateral an initial margin with the broker, as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. Pursuant to the contract, each Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by each Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The credit/counterparty risk for exchange-traded futures contracts is generally less than privately negotiated futures contracts, since the clearinghouse, which is the issuer or counterparty to each exchange-traded future, provides a guarantee of performance. The guarantee is supported by a daily payment system (i.e., margin requirements).

Use of long futures contracts subjects each Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects each Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.

A summary of the open futures contracts as of November 30, 2022 is included in a table following the Funds’ Schedule of Investments.

The following tables summarize the value of the Funds’ derivative instruments held as of November 30, 2022 and the related location in the accompanying Statement of Assets and Liabilities, presented by primary underlying risk exposure:

Affiliated Cash Management Vehicles    The Funds may invest uninvested cash balances in DWS Government Money Market Series and DWS ESG Liquidity Fund, affiliated money market funds which are managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. (“DIMA”), also an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA. Each affiliated money market fund is managed in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act, which governs the quality, maturity, diversity and liquidity of instruments in which a money market fund may invest. DWS Government Money Market Series seeks to maintain a stable NAV, and DWS ESG Liquidity Fund maintains a floating NAV. The Funds indirectly bear their proportionate share of the expenses of each affiliated money market fund in which they invest. The Advisor will waive an amount of the unitary advisory fee payable to the Advisor by the Funds equal to such acquired fund’s fees and expenses on the Funds’ assets invested in the affiliated money market funds.

3. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements

The Advisor has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Funds, subject to the supervision of the Funds’ Board of Trustees. Under an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Funds, and the Advisor (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), the Advisor is responsible for arranging sub-advisory, transfer agency, custody, fund administration, and all other non-distribution related services for the Funds to operate.

Harvest Global Investments Limited serves as investment sub-Advisor (the “Sub-Advisor”) to the Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF and the Xtrackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF. The Sub-Advisor is responsible for day-to-day management of each Fund, subject to supervision of the Advisor.

For its investment advisory services to the Funds below, the Advisor is entitled to receive a unitary advisory fee based on each Fund’s average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate equal to:

5. Fund Share Transactions

As of November 30, 2022, there were unlimited Fund shares, no par value, authorized by the Trust. Fund shares are issued and redeemed by each Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of each Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for each Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets. The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF generally consists of the in-kind contribution of a designated portfolio of securities constituting a portfolio sampling representation of the securities included in the respective Fund’s Underlying Index and an amount of cash, which under certain circumstances may include cash in lieu of portfolio securities. The purchase of Creation Units for Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF, Xtrackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF and Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF are generally issued in exchange for a specific amount of cash totaling the NAV of the Creation Units. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

6. Concentration of Ownership

From time to time, Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF may have a concentration of several shareholders, including affiliated funds, holding a significant percentage of shares outstanding. Investment activities of these shareholders could have a material impact on the Fund. As of November 30, 2022, Xtrackers MSCI All China Equity ETF held 73% of the total shares outstanding of the Fund.

7. Investing in China

Investing in securities of Chinese issuers involves certain risks and considerations not typically associated with investing in securities of U.S. issuers, including, among others; more frequent (and potentially widespread) trading suspensions and government interventions with respect to Chinese issuers, resulting in lack of liquidity and in price volatility; currency revaluations and other currency exchange rate fluctuations or blockage; the nature and extent of intervention by the Chinese government in the Chinese securities markets (including both direct and indirect market stabilization efforts, which may affect valuations of Chinese issuers), whether such intervention will continue and the impact of such intervention or its discontinuation; the risk of nationalization or expropriation of assets; the risk that the Chinese government may decide not to continue to support economic reform programs; limitations on the use of brokers (or action by the Chinese government that discourages brokers from serving international clients); higher rates of inflation; greater political, economic and social uncertainty; higher market volatility caused by any potential regional territorial conflicts or natural disasters; the risk of increased trade tariffs, embargoes and other trade limitations; restrictions on foreign ownership which require US investors to invest in offshore special purpose companies to obtain indirect exposure to Chinese issuers; custody risks associated with investing through Stock Connect, an RQFII or other programs to access the Chinese securities markets, both interim and permanent market regulations which may affect the ability of certain stockholders to sell Chinese securities when it would otherwise be advisable; different and less stringent financial reporting standards; and increased political pressure from the US and other countries to restrict the ability of investors outside China to invest in Chinese issuers. In addition, in June 2021, the President of the United States issued an executive order (“CMIC Order”) prohibiting US persons, including the Funds, from purchasing or selling publicly traded securities (including publicly traded securities that are derivative of, or designed to provide exposure to, such securities) of any Chinese company identified as a “Chinese Military-Industrial Complex Company” (“CMIC”). This prohibition, effective August 2, 2021, expands on similar sanctions imposed by the prior administration on certain designated Chinese military companies (“CCMCs”) that took effect in January 2021. To the extent that any company in an Underlying Index is identified as a CMIC at any time (or was previously designed as a CCMC), it may have material adverse effect on a fund’s ability to track its Underlying Index.

8. Line of Credit

The Trust has entered into a senior unsecured credit facility with a syndication of banks which allows the Xtrackers Harvest CSI 300 China A-Shares ETF, Xtrackers Harvest CSI 500 China A-Shares Small Cap ETF, Xtrackers MSCI China A Inclusion Equity ETF and certain other funds managed by the Advisor to borrow up to $105 million. Each Fund may borrow money under this credit facility to the extent necessary for temporary or emergency purposes, including the funding of shareholder redemption requests, trade settlements, and as necessary to distribute to shareholders any income necessary to maintain each Funds’ status as a regulated investment company. Borrowings are charged an interest rate of 1.25% per annum plus the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus .10%. Each Fund may borrow up to the lesser of 33 percent of its net assets as permitted by the Act or 25 percent of adjusted total net assets. The Funds had no outstanding loans at November 30, 2022.

9. Other — COVID-19 Pandemic

A novel coronavirus known as COVID-19, declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, which at times has caused significant uncertainty, market volatility, decreased economic and other activity, increased government activity, including economic stimulus measures, and supply chain interruptions. The full effects, duration and costs of the COVID-19 pandemic are impossible to predict, and the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to evolve, including the risk of future increased rates of infection due to significant portions of the population remaining unvaccinated and/or the lack of effectiveness of current vaccines against new variants. The pandemic has affected and may continue to affect certain countries, industries, economic sectors, companies and investment products more than others, may exacerbate existing economic, political, or social tensions and may increase the probability of an economic recession or depression. The Funds’ and their investments may be adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management will continue to monitor the impact COVID-19 has on the Funds and reflect the consequences as appropriate in the Funds’ accounting and financial reporting.

This report is intended for the shareholders of DBX ETF Trust.

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S. companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. Funds investing in a single industry, country or in a limited geographic region generally are more volatile than more diversified funds. Special risks associated with investments in Chinese companies include exposure to currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards, the nature and extent of intervention by the Chinese government in the Chinese securities markets, and the potential unavailability of A shares. Uncertainties in the Chinese tax rules governing taxation of income and gains from investments in A-shares could result in unexpected tax liabilities for the Funds which may reduce Fund returns. Any reduction or elimination of access to A-shares will have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Funds to achieve its investment objective. Performance of the Funds may diverge from that of the Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in these Funds should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with the Funds. Please read the prospectus for more information.

The U.S. government has imposed restrictions on the ability of U.S. investors to hold and/or acquire securities of certain Chinese companies. To the extent that an Underlying Index includes such a security and the Fund excludes it, the Fund’s tracking error may increase and the performance of the Fund and Underlying Index may diverge.

War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises and related geopolitical events have led, and, in the future, may lead to significant disruptions in U.S. and world economies and markets, which may lead to increased market volatility and may have significant adverse effects on the Funds and their investments.

Shares of the Funds are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) throughout the day on the NYSE Arca, Inc. Transactions in Fund shares may result in brokerage commissions and may generate tax consequences. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares of a Fund will develop or be maintained.

To our Shareholders: (Unaudited)

 

 

Dear shareholder,

We are pleased to provide this semiannual report on our sector ETF for the period ended November 30, 2022.

The global economy has continued to experience a sharper-than-expected slowdown, due to inflation, interest rate hikes, geopolitical tensions, tightening global financial conditions and China’s economic slowdown. After experiencing two quarters of contraction, the U.S. Economy recovered, clocking GDP1 growth of 2.9% in Q3 2022 primarily driven by exports and consumer spending. Global equity markets were oversold during the reporting period on the back of accelerating inflation and fears surrounding central banks’ actions to control the price surge. However, in November, The U.S. Federal Reserve’s indication to slow the pace of rate hikes boosted investor sentiment and supported market gains.

The European economy experienced a slowdown owing to the ongoing energy crisis and advancing inflation. Furthermore, the Eurozone PMI2 was below 50 points for the fifth consecutive month of contraction in November 2022 clearly indicating a decline in GDP growth. However, monetary policy, increasing fiscal support in response to the energy crisis, and easing supply chain bottlenecks continued to support the economy. The European Central Bank (ECB) made significant headway in doing away with its monetary policy accommodation in October, when it increased its benchmark interest rate by 75 bps3. This was the third significant policy rate hike in a row. The manufacturing and services sectors remained dull, and business activity contracted for five straight months in November. The ECB hiked rates three times between July and October to counter red-hot inflation. Despite cooling marginally, prices remained at historical highs in the region. Meanwhile, the European markets expanded after Liz Truss resigned after 45 days as the UK’s prime minister. Newly appointed Prime Minister Rishi Sunak promised a supportive approach to restore the UK’s economic stability.

Japan’s GDP contracted in the third quarter of 2022, owing to inflation and a weak yen, as well as a large COVID-19 wave over the three-month period. A depleted yen and high commodity prices raised the cost of imports which, in turn, affected the trade balance this year. However, export growth continued to be strong. Industrial production numbers were influenced by production cuts announced by Japanese automakers as a result of the global semiconductor shortage. The Japanese government announced new measures to tackle unprecedented inflation.

Global real estate markets continued to battle a change in the macro environment, due to the war in Ukraine, spiraling inflation, tightening central bank policy, and stagnating economies. Real assets as a whole underperformed throughout the reporting period, owing to the impact of rate hikes and a strengthening U.S. dollar. Homeowners around the world had to deal with more unsustainable mortgage payments, and prospective homebuyers were confronted with growing housing prices, which outpaced wage growth.

We believe the global economy is likely to witness weaker growth ahead, weighed down by record-high inflation and high retail inventories. We expect global inflation to peak in the fourth quarter of 2022. While the U.S. might narrowly miss a recession in 2023, the Eurozone is expected to witness a contraction in GDP. Meanwhile, slowing demand and declining housing prices are likely to stall the pace of inflation and prompt the major central banks around the globe to pause or scale back further rate hikes.

Our team appreciates your trust and looks forward to serving your investment needs through innovative index-driven strategies.

Sincerely,

/s/ Freddi Klassen

Fees and Expenses (Unaudited)

 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of fund shares, and (2) ongoing costs, including unitary advisory fees and other Fund expenses. In the most resent six-month period the Fund limited these expenses; had it not done so, expenses would have been higher. The expense examples below are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other funds.

The examples in the tables are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period (June 1, 2022 to November 30, 2022).

Actual expenses

The first line in the following tables provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading “Expenses Paid During the Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The second line in the following tables provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses (which is not the Funds’ actual return). The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the tables are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only, and do not reflect any transactional costs. Therefore the second line in the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

(1) Expenses are equal to each Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 183 (the number of days in the most recent six-month period), then divided by 365.

Fair Value Measurements

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2022 in valuing the Fund’s investments. For information on the Fund’s policy regarding the valuation of investments, please refer to the Security Valuation section of Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Financial Statements.

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited)

 

1. Organization

DBX ETF Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Act”), as an open-end registered management investment company organized as a Delaware statutory trust.

As of November 30, 2022, the Trust consists of thirty-eight investment series of exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”) in operation and trading. These financial statements report on Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF (the “Fund”), a diversified series of the Trust.

DBX Advisors LLC (“DBX” or the “Advisor”), an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of DWS Group GmbH & Co. KGaA (“DWS Group”), serves as investment advisor to the Fund and has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Trustees (“Board”).

The Fund offers shares that are listed and traded on the NYSE Arca, Inc. (“NYSE Arca”). Unlike conventional mutual funds, the Fund issues and redeems shares on a continuous basis, at net asset value (“NAV”), only in large specified lots consisting of 50,000 shares, each called a “Creation Unit”, to authorized participants who have entered into agreements with the Fund’s distributor. Shares are not individually redeemable securities of the Fund, and owners of shares may acquire those shares from the Fund or tender such shares for redemption to the Fund, in Creation Units only.

The investment objective of the Fund is to track the performance, before fees and expenses, of the iSTOXX Developed and Emerging Markets ex USA PK VN Real Estate Index (the “Underlying Index”).

The iSTOXX Developed and Emerging Markets ex USA PK VN Real Estate Index is a free-float capitalization weighted index designed to measure the performance of international real estate securities of issuers incorporated outside the United States, excluding Pakistan and Vietnam. The iSTOXX Developed and Emerging Markets ex USA PK VN Real Estate Index is rebalanced quarterly.

The Fund is entitled to use its Underlying Index pursuant to a licensing agreement between the Index Provider and DBX. There is no charge to the Fund in connection with the licensing agreement.

Pursuant to the Trust’s organizational documents, the Trust’s officers and trustees are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of the performance of their duties to the Fund. Additionally, in the normal course of business the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations that provide indemnification for certain liabilities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, the Trust expects the risk of loss to be remote.

2. Significant Accounting Policies

The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), which require management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Fund qualifies as an investment company under Topic 946 of the Accounting Standards Codification of U.S. GAAP. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund.

Security Valuation    The NAV of the Fund’s shares is calculated each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, generally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time. NAV per share is calculated by dividing a Fund’s net assets by the number of Fund shares outstanding.

The Fund’s Board has designated the Advisor as the valuation designee for the Fund pursuant to Rule 2a-5 under the 1940 Act. The Advisor’s Pricing Committee (the “Pricing Committee”) typically values securities using readily available market quotations or prices supplied by independent pricing services (which are considered fair values under Rule 2a-5). The Advisor has adopted fair valuation procedures that provide methodologies for fair valuing securities.

Various inputs are used in determining the value of the Fund’s investments. These inputs are summarized in three broad levels. Level 1 includes quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. Level 2 includes other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds,

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

and credit risk). Level 3 includes significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments). The level assigned to the securities valuations may not be an indication of the risk or liquidity associated with investing in those securities.

Equity securities and ETFs are valued at the most recent sale price or official closing price reported on the exchange (U.S. or foreign) or over-the-counter market on which they trade. Securities or ETFs for which no sales are reported are valued at the calculated mean between the most recent bid and asked quotations on the relevant market or, if a mean cannot be determined, at the most recent bid quotation. Equity securities and ETFs are generally categorized as Level 1.

Investments in open-end investment companies are valued at their NAV each business day and are categorized as Level 1.

Futures contracts are generally valued at the settlement prices established each day on the exchange on which they are traded and are categorized as Level 1.

Securities and other assets for which market quotations are not readily available or for which the above valuation procedures are deemed not to reflect fair value are valued in a manner that is intended to reflect their fair value as determined in accordance with procedures approved by the Pricing Committee and are generally categorized as Level 3. In accordance with the Fund’s valuation procedures, factors considered in determining value may include, but are not limited to, the type of the security; the size of the holding; the initial cost of the security; the existence of any contractual restrictions on the security’s disposition; the price and extent of public trading in similar securities of the issuer or of comparable companies; quotations or evaluated prices from broker-dealers and/or pricing services; information obtained from the issuer, analysts, and/or the appropriate stock exchange (for exchange traded securities); an analysis of the company’s or issuer’s financial statements; an evaluation of the forces that influence the issuer and the market(s) in which the security is purchased and sold; and with respect to debt securities, the maturity, coupon, creditworthiness, currency denomination and the movement of the market in which the security is normally traded. The value determined under these procedures may differ from published values for the same securities.

Fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate a Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Fund’s Underlying Index, which in turn could result in a difference between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Fund’s Underlying Index.

Disclosure about the classification of the fair value measurements is included in a table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

Cash    Cash consists of cash held at banks and is on deposit with major financial institutions.

Investment Transactions and Investment Income    Investment transactions are recorded as of the date that the securities are purchased or sold (trade date). Realized gains and losses from the sale or disposition of securities are calculated on the identified cost-method. Dividend income is net of any foreign taxes withheld at source. Certain dividends from foreign securities may be recorded subsequent to the ex-dividend date as soon as the Fund is informed of such dividends. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Distributions received from foreign domiciled corporations, generally determined to be passive foreign investment companies for tax reporting purposes, are included in dividend income.

Tax Information and Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders    It is the Fund’s policy to comply with all requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”). The Fund intends to qualify for and to elect treatment as a separate Regulated Investment Company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Code. It is the policy of the Fund to pay out dividends from its net investment income, if any, semi-annually. Taxable net realized gains from investment transactions, reduced by capital loss carryforwards, if any, are declared and distributed to shareholders at least annually. The capital loss carryforward amount, if any, is available to offset future net capital gains. The Fund may occasionally be required to make supplemental distributions at some other time during the year. The Fund reserve the right to declare special distributions if, in their reasonable discretion, such action is necessary or advisable to preserve the status of the Fund as a RIC or to avoid imposition of income or excise taxes on undistributed income. Dividends and distributions to shareholders, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. The amount of dividends and distributions from net investment income and net realized capital

Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued)

 

gains are determined in accordance with Federal income tax regulations which may differ from U.S. GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are either considered temporary or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified at the end of the year within the components of net assets based on their federal tax treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions, which exceed earnings and profits for the full year for tax purposes, are reported as a tax return of capital.

In accordance with U.S. GAAP requirements regarding accounting for uncertainties in income taxes, management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken or expected to be taken on foreign, federal and state income tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income tax is required in the Fund’s financial statements.

The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions as income tax expense on the Statement of Operations. For the period ended November 30, 2022, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties.

At May 31, 2022, for Federal income tax purposes, the Funds have capital loss carryforwards available as shown in the table below, to the extent provided by regulations, to offset future capital gains for an unlimited period. To the extent that these capital loss carryforwards are used to offset future capital gains, it is probable that the capital gains so offset will not be distributed to shareholders.

 

     Short-Term      Long-Term      Total Amount  
   $ 1,682,956      $ 415,035      $ 2,097,991  

As of May 31, 2022, the aggregate cost of investments for federal income tax purposes, the net unrealized appreciation or depreciation and the aggregated gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments were as follows:

 

     Aggregate
Tax Cost
     Net Unrealized
Appreciation
(Depreciation)
     Aggregate Gross

     Aggregate Gross

   $ 622,546,613      $ (56,269,614    $ 14,308,035      $ (70,577,649

The tax character of current year distributions will be determined at the end of the current fiscal year.

Foreign Taxes    The Fund may be subject to foreign taxes (a portion of which may be reclaimable) on income, capital gains on investments, certain foreign currency transactions or other corporate events. All foreign taxes are recorded in accordance with the applicable foreign tax regulations and rates that exist in the foreign jurisdictions in which the Fund invest. These foreign taxes, if any, are paid by the Fund and are reflected in their Statements of Operations as follows: foreign taxes withheld at source are presented as a reduction of income, foreign taxes on capital gains from sales of investments and foreign currency transactions are included in their respective net realized gain (loss) categories, and deferred foreign taxes on unrealized gains are included in net change in unrealized appreciation (depreciation). Receivables and payables related to foreign taxes as of November 30, 2022, if any, are disclosed in the Fund’s Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Foreign Currency Translations    The books and records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates at period end. Purchases and sales of investment securities, income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rates on the respective dates of the transactions.

Net realized and unrealized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses between trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, the acquisition and disposition of foreign currencies, and the difference between the amount of net investment income accrued and the U.S. dollar amount actually received. The portion of both realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments that results from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates is not separately disclosed, but is included with net realized and unrealized gain/appreciation and loss/depreciation on investments.

Securities Lending    The Fund may lend securities to certain financial institutions under the terms of its securities lending agreement. During the term of the loans, the Fund continues to receive interest and dividends generated by the securities and to participate in any changes in their market value. The Fund requires the borrowers of the

securities to maintain collateral with the Fund consisting of cash and/or securities issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities having a value at least equal to the value of the securities loaned. When the collateral falls below specified amounts, the lending agent will use its best effort to obtain additional collateral on the next business day to meet required amounts under the securities lending agreement. During the period ended November 30, 2022, the Fund invested the cash collateral into a joint trading account in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio, an affiliated money market fund managed by DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. DWS Investment Management Americas, Inc. receives a management/administration fee (0.07% annualized effective rate as of November 30, 2022) on the cash collateral invested in DWS Government & Agency Securities Portfolio. The Fund receives compensation for lending its securities either in the form of fees or by earning interest on invested cash collateral, net of borrower rebates and fees paid to a lending agent. Either the Fund or the borrower may terminate the loan at any time and the borrower, after notice, is required to return borrowed securities within a standard time period. There may be risks of delay and costs in recovery of securities or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the securities fail financially. If the Fund is not able to recover securities lent, the Fund may sell the collateral and purchase a replacement investment in the market, incurring the risk that the value of the replacement security is greater than the value of the collateral. The Fund is also subject to all investment risks associated with the reinvestment of any cash collateral received, including, but not limited to, interest rate, credit and liquidity risk associated with such investments.

As of November 30, 2022, the Fund had securities on loan. The value of the related collateral exceeded the value of the securities loaned at period end.

Derivatives

Futures Contracts    The Fund may enter into futures contracts. These futures contracts will be used to simulate investment in the respective Underlying Index, to facilitate trading or to reduce transaction costs. The Fund will enter into futures contracts that are traded on a U.S. or non-U.S. exchange. The Fund will not use futures for speculative purposes. Futures contracts provide for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific instrument or index at a specified future time and at a specified price. For the period ended November 30, 2022, the Fund utilized futures in order to simulate investment in the Fund’s Underlying Index. To the extent required by law, liquid assets committed to futures contracts will be maintained.

At the time the Fund enters into a futures contract, the Fund deposits and maintains as collateral an initial margin with the broker, as required by the exchange on which the transaction is affected. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as variation margin and are recorded by the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. Risks may arise from the potential inability of a counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. The credit/counterparty risk for exchange-traded futures contracts is generally less than privately negotiated futures contracts, since the clearinghouse, which is the issuer or counterparty to each exchange-traded future, provides a guarantee of performance. The guarantee is supported by a daily payment system (i.e., margin requirements).

Use of long futures contracts subjects the Fund to risk of loss in excess of the amounts shown on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities, up to the notional value of the futures contracts. Use of short futures contracts subjects the Fund to unlimited risk of loss. Under some circumstances, futures exchanges may establish daily limits on the amount that the price of a futures contract can vary from the previous day’s settlement price, which could effectively prevent liquidation of unfavorable positions.

A summary of the open futures contracts as of November 30, 2022 is included in a table following the Fund’s Schedule of Investments.

The Fund indirectly bears its proportionate share of the expenses of each affiliated money market fund in which it invests. The Advisor will waive an amount of the unitary advisory fee payable to the Advisor by the Funds equal to such acquired fund’s fees and expenses on the Funds’ assets invested in the affiliated money market funds.

3. Investment Advisory and Other Agreements

The Advisor has overall responsibility for the general management and administration of the Fund, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board of Trustees. Under an investment advisory agreement between the Trust, on behalf of the Fund, and the Advisor (the “Investment Advisory Agreement”), the Advisor is responsible for arranging sub-advisory, transfer agency, custody, fund administration, and all other non-distribution related services for the Fund to operate.

For its investment advisory services to the Fund, the Advisor is entitled to receive a unitary advisory fee from the Fund based on the Fund’s average daily net assets, computed and accrued daily and payable monthly, at an annual rate equal to 0.12%.

The Advisor for the Fund has contractually agreed, until September 30, 2023, to waive a portion of its unitary advisory fee to the extent necessary to prevent the operating expenses of the Fund (excluding interest expense, taxes, brokerage expenses, distribution fees or expenses, litigation expenses and other extraordinary expenses) from exceeding 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This agreement may only be terminated by the

Fund’s Board (and may not be terminated by the Advisor) prior to that time. For the period ended November 30, 2022, the Advisor waived $51,153 of the expenses of the Fund.

The Advisor for the Fund has contractually agreed to waive a portion of its unitary advisory fee in an amount equal to the acquired fund’s fees and expenses attributable to the Fund’s investments in affiliated cash management vehicles. For the period from June 1, 2022 through November 30, 2022, the Advisor waived $248 of expenses to the Fund.

Out of the unitary advisory fee, the Advisor pays substantially all expenses of the Fund, including the cost of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services and expenses of the Independent Trustees. The Fund is responsible for the payment of, interest expense, acquired fund fees and expenses, taxes, brokerage expenses, distribution fees or expenses, if any, litigation expenses and extraordinary expenses.

The Bank of New York Mellon, a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, serves as Administrator, Custodian, Accounting Agent, Lending Agent and Transfer Agent for each Fund.

ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”) serves as the distributor of Creation Units for the Fund on an agency basis. The Distributor does not maintain a secondary market in shares of the Fund.

The Board of Trustees is currently comprised of three Independent Trustees. The Advisor paid retainer fees and attendance fees to each Independent Trustee; retainer fees to the Chairman of the Board of Trustees and Chairman of the Audit Committee; and attendance fees to each member of the Audit Committee (which is comprised of all of the Fund’s Independent Trustees).

4. Investment Portfolio Transactions

5. Fund Share Transactions

As of November 30, 2022, there were unlimited Fund shares, no par value, authorized by the Trust. Fund shares are issued and redeemed by the Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Except when aggregated in Creation Units, shares of the Fund are not redeemable. Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in detail in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets. The consideration for the purchase of Creation Units of a Fund generally consists of the in-kind contribution of a designated portfolio of securities constituting a portfolio sampling representation of the securities included in the Fund’s Underlying Index and an amount of cash, which under certain circumstances may include cash in lieu of portfolio securities. Investors purchasing and redeeming Creation Units pay a purchase transaction fee and a redemption transaction fee to offset transfer and other transaction costs associated with the issuance and redemption of Creation Units.

6. Line of Credit

The Trust has entered into a senior unsecured credit facility with a syndication of banks which allows the Xtrackers International Real Estate ETF and certain other funds managed by the Advisor to borrow up to $105 million. The Fund may borrow money under this credit facility to the extent necessary for temporary or emergency purposes, including the funding of shareholder redemption requests, trade settlements, and as necessary to distribute to shareholders any income necessary to maintain the Fund’s status as a regulated

investment company. Borrowings are charged an interest rate of 1.25% per annum plus the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus .10%. The Fund may borrow up to the lesser of 33 percent of its net assets as permitted by the Act or 25 percent of adjusted total net assets. The Fund had no outstanding loans at November 30, 2022.

7. Other — COVID-19 Pandemic

A novel coronavirus known as COVID-19, declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization, which at times has caused significant uncertainty, market volatility, decreased economic and other activity, increased government activity, including economic stimulus measures, and supply chain interruptions. The full effects, duration and costs of the COVID-19 pandemic are impossible to predict, and the circumstances surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to evolve, including the risk of future increased rates of infection due to significant portions of the population remaining unvaccinated and/or the lack of effectiveness of current vaccines against new variants. The pandemic has affected and may continue to affect certain countries, industries, economic sectors, companies and investment products more than others, may exacerbate existing economic, political, or social tensions and may increase the probability of an economic recession or depression. The Fund and its investments may be adversely affected by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Management will continue to monitor the impact COVID-19 has on the Fund and reflect the consequences as appropriate in the Fund’s accounting and financial reporting.

This report is intended for the shareholders of DBX ETF Trust.

This report must be preceded or accompanied by a prospectus.

Investing involves risk, including possible loss of principal. Stocks may decline in value. Foreign investing involves greater and different risks than investing in U.S. companies, including currency fluctuations, less liquidity, less developed or less efficient trading markets, lack of comprehensive company information, political instability and differing auditing and legal standards. There are special risks associated with an investment in real estate, including REITS. These risks include credit risk, interest rate fluctuations and the impact of varied economic conditions. Investing in foreign securities, particularly those of emerging markets, present certain risks such as currency fluctuations, political and economical changes, and market risks. Any fund that concentrates in a particular segment of the market will generally be more volatile than a fund that invests more broadly. Emerging markets tend to be more volatile and less liquid than the markets of more mature economies and generally have less diverse and less mature economic structures and less stable political systems than those of developed countries. Investing in derivatives entails special risks relating to liquidity, leverage and credit that may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Performance of a Fund may diverge from that of an Underlying Index due to operating expenses, transaction costs, cash flows, use of sampling strategies or operational inefficiencies. An investment in any Fund should be considered only as a supplement to a complete investment program for those investors willing to accept the risks associated with that fund. Please read the prospectus for more information.

War, terrorism, sanctions, economic uncertainty, trade disputes, public health crises and related geopolitical events have led, and, in the future, may lead to significant disruptions in U.S. and world economies and markets, which may lead to increased market volatility and may have significant adverse effects on the Funds and its investments.

Shares of the Funds are bought and sold at market price (not NAV) throughout the day on the NYSE Arca, Inc. Transactions in Fund shares may result in brokerage commissions and may generate tax consequences. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for shares of a Fund will develop or be maintained.
